Presentation transcript:

A New Century The Modern Era Begins p

Oil – Texas Gold ► In the 1840s a Canadian scientist discovered how to make kerosene fuel from oil. ► As the demand for kerosene grew, operators bean drilling for oil. ► In 1866 Lyne T. Barret drilled the first oil well in Texas, a few miles east of Nacogdoches. ► Soon other wells were drilled, starting an oil boom in the area.

Spindletop-the first Gusher ► South of Beaumont on the coastal prairie was a small hill named Spindletop. ► On January 10, 1901 while drilling at Spindletop, the rotary drilling bit dug 1,139 ft into the ground, and mud started coming up the hole. ► Mud, gas, and oil started shooting into the air, as high as 100 feet. ► The well flowed nonstop for the next 9 days.

Spindletop-the first Gusher ► It is estimated that 100,000 barrels of oil flowed per day until the well could be capped. ► Spindletop boosted overall economic development, both within Texas and beyond the state. ► The success of Spindletop encouraged oil drilling on other locations.

Lumber Booms in East Texas ► The oil boom in southeast Texas created a demand for products needed by the oil industry. ► One such product was lumber because the derricks – high towers that held the drilling equipment – were made of wood. ► Rail lines crisscrossed East Texas, making it easy to get the lumber to market.
